A private day close to the water, built around your group.
Trade the 60-seat catamaran for a fast private boat and a day built around your group of six. Because it’s small and quick, you reach the dolphins earlier, slip into quieter coves, and spend the day where the water is clearest.
The morning starts with a guided swim alongside wild spinner and bottlenose dolphins off the west coast — run in small groups, from the side, at a respectful distance, exactly as Mauritius’ dolphin-watching regulations require. From there you snorkel behind the reef, feed shoals of reef fish in the lagoon, cruise past the One Eye kitesurf break under Le Morne Brabant, and pull up at Ile aux Benitiers for a seafood barbecue on the sand. In winter, humpback and sperm whales are often observed offshore.
This is the day we recommend for couples and small groups who’d rather be in the water than on a party deck — active, personal, and close to the wildlife, with a private crew who know exactly where to go.

Questions About This Private Catamaran Tour
Yes — swimming with wild dolphins is legal in Mauritius under the 2012 regulations. The crew run it responsibly: small groups in the water, approached from the side, no touching or chasing.
Dolphins are wild, so sightings are never certain, but the west coast off Tamarin and Black River is the island’s most reliable area, especially early.
No — entering the water with whales is prohibited in Mauritius. In winter (roughly June–September) whales are observed from the boat at a legal distance.
The private speedboat takes up to 6 guests — ideal for couples, families and small groups.
Yes — a seafood BBQ served on Ile aux Benitiers, plus refreshments on board.
La Balise Marina, Black River, on the west coast. Free parking on site.
Swimwear, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a camera. Snorkel gear is provided.
